The Disney Dream has reached a milestone in its development as it has now had its keel laying ceremony. This new ship is being built in an effort to greatly expand the Disney Cruise Line to ports all around the world.
The Disney Dream's keel laying ceremony took place in Papenburg, Germany. The new ship will continue its construction process at the Meyer Werft Shipyard. The keel laying ceremony commences when the first piece of a ship is lowered into the building dock. A lucky coin was put under the keel of the Disney Dream for good fortune.
The Disney Cruise Line fleet will see the addition of the Disney Dream in 2011. In 2012, the Disney Fantasy will join as well. Once both ships have arrived, they will more than double the current capacity of Disney Cruise Line. Each weighs 128,000 tons and has 1250 staterooms onboard.
In order to create these wonderfully appointed new ships, Disney Cruise Line has called in the team at Walt Disney Imagineering to give the new ships creativity in imaginative storytelling. Along with superb shipbuilding from the Meyer Werft shipyard, they have created a truly distinctive design.
Each and every family member has something special waiting for them onboard a Disney cruise ship. The Disney Dream will be no different. It will boast spaces for everyone to enjoy.
Port Canaveral will serve as the homeport for both the Disney Dream and the Disney Fantasy. The new ships are larger than Disney's current ships so expansion efforts are currently underway in Florida to accommodate these new vessels.
Not only will the dock get longer and the terminal be reconfigured to a bigger size, construction on a new multi-floor parking garage has also begun. These new features will help smooth the loading and unloading process.
Keep an eye out for the Disney Dream and the Disney Fantasy as these new ships will be sailing to uncharted magic soon.
